I started loading my trailer today, so far 10 bins, 4 sets of rims and tires. 2 sets are empi style, 1 set aluminium slots, 1 chrome set. Also selling fiberglass fender set, and assorted headers with mufflers. Trying to downsize in my old age. Only coming for Sunday so save me a spot. |

It never rains for Flanders. They may as well just update the Farmer's Almanac to coincide with our little gathering. See you all around the camp fire! _________________ www.cjvws.com

I finally got to this showing (although not with my bus) and was really impressed with how great an event it was. I've been out of the scene for a while as my life is more fix-my-old-victorian-house these days, and the Westy is used mostly for trips to Home Depot, but this show reminded me of how nice VW people really are. Great show. _________________ Your car may do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, but can it sleep 4 and cook a meal?

Check out my 360 view of the show. Hopefully the link works. If not search on Google street view "Flanders" Swim and Sports club

This was my first time at this show. A definitely must see for anyone who has never been. When I left Mass Saturday at 7am I wasn't sure what I was in for. 450 miles later and 18 gallons of gas my bus hit 79900 miles! Great weekend

One spectator came to me and said he had seen at least one Subaru conversion among the buses. I forgot to mention it to the rest of the club members. A water cooled violation!!! _________________ Central Jersey VW Society

Fantastic video
The link didn't work for me so I copied and pasted the actual youtube # after getting on you tube itself.
You have got some great video production and editing skills ! _________________ Drive your VW... That's what it was made for.
